Smart contact lens containing hyaluronate–rose bengal conjugate for biophotonic myopia vision correction

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: histological analysis confirmed the effective collagen crosslinking by HA-RB conjugate and the light irradiation. Furthermore, we developed a smart contact lens for on-demand HA-RB conjugate delivery from the reservoir embedded in the contact lens. Taken together, we could envision the feasibility of a smart contact lens for biophotonic myopia vision correction.
